"The more I learn about Harriet Miers, the more comfortable I'm becoming."

Well if recent news about her supporting the WORLD COURT and Adoption rights for gays is what makes you comfortable
you got your gal.

I will not be comfortable until she proves she is an originalist and not a living constitution type..but my guess is she is ms souter and this will be Bush's READ MY LIPS moment. A Very unhappy Conservative.

I personally know lawyers that worked with her for many years, and according to them her personal philosophy is a strict Jeffersonian originalism.

This may be a bit too libertarian for some conservatives, but if she wants to pare down the scope and power of the Federal government, I'm all for it.

"Recent news" is recent rumor mongering. I'm challenging you to show me where Harriet Miers (specifically) supports either. I'll not hold my breath...

I won't be comfortable until I know that she is a strict constuctionist/originalist. But that is the report on her.

Those who care legally about what her political views are seem to be suggesting that we have to pick people with the correct POLITICAL views just in case they are activists, so they are correctly activist.

I don't really want a conservative activist.

Others point out that conservatives take positions that make sense, and to the degree she has other views it shows her lack of good sense. That is a more compelling argument in opposition, presuming we can determine what he current views are.
